Registry Persistence
The MK2000 achieves configuration persistence across cold boots by selectively writing
portions of the registry to the flash file system (using Registry Export) and then merging
those registry entries at boot time (using Regmerge).
To store parameter changes made to the current configuration, use the Configuration
Export utility, available from the Start menu by selecting "Save Configuration", alternatively
applications can make a call to the MK_SaveConfiguration C API.The file that is used to
store the configuration information is named mkconfig.reg and it normally resides at
\Application\mkconfig.reg.
Note: The MK2000 does not automatically save the configuration, it must
be manually saved. This applies to changes made via control panel,
application or directly to the registry, see Configuration Utility on
page 3-9 and
Save Configuration / Generate a .reg File
on page 3-14.
Regmerge
Regmerge is a driver, run during startup that imports registry files into the active registry. It
is the loading mechanism used by the configuration files and it is used as part of the
platform and application "install" of additional software components, see the "Regmerge /
Copyfiles" section for additional information.
MK2000 Protected Mode
If an MK2000 has been configured to automatically launch an application on power-up, this
auto-boot must be bypassed when the system is booted to enter Windows
®
CE Protected
Mode.
Bypass application auto-boot:
1. To perform a cold boot press and hold buttons B and C until the display goes blank
(typically 15 seconds) then release buttons, see Figure 1-1 on page 1-3. The
MK2000 reboots.
2. To prevent the MK2000 from entering an application, simultaneously hold down
buttons A and D just after the blue Performing System Initialization (Phase 1)
screen appears. The A and D buttons must be held down before the message
changes to Phase 2.
3. When the Enter Password prompt appears, enter DDBAC and touch OK on the
screen, or simultaneously press the A and B buttons for Enter.
4. The MK2000 enters Protected Mode and the Win CE desktop appears.
